At the end of the crank arm 5 is rigidly secured a head 4 having an annular gitudinal groove to receive the tool. Within the longitudinal groove" on the'outer surface pivoted on a pin 13 adapted to engage in the manner shown m my previous patent. On the crank and having a prong '14 arm 5'is rotatably mounted a tool carrier 7 having apluralityof tools 9 secured thereto by means of a rin 1O fitted into curved slots formed in-one en of the tools, as shown in 1, and the said'tools are ada ted to lie in F' ra dial grocves in the surface "of t e'carrieror holder whenthe said tools are inth'e folded or inactive position. v The tool holder is secured against longitudinal movement by means of a collar 6 o'nthe arm' 5, and isprevented from rotating. at the,timea toolis being used; by the shank of the tool which" groove in the headfi.

action of a spring 18 abutting against a second collar 19. V

The operation and action of my new and COMPANY, OF WEST improved brace is substantially the same as that set forth in my previous patent above referred to, but by mounting the tool carrier and guard upon the crank arm rather than by providing a se arate shaft therefor, the device is rendere very much simpler and less costly. In case it is desired to remove the tool carrier, it is merely necessary to withdraw the pin 20 which secures the head on the end of the crank arm, andthe tool carrier may then be readily and quickly removed.

Having thus described a my invention, I

claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent:

1. A brace. comprising a crankhaving a crank arm, a head rigidly secured to the crank arm, a tool carrier pivotally mounted on the crankarm; and a plurality of tools admounted on the carrier and capable of independent movement into engagement with said head;

2. -A brace comprising a crank arm and a fuandle, a head rigidly secured to the crank arm, a tool carrier mounted to rotate on the crank arm, a plurality of tools adjustably mounted on the carrier, and'aguard mounted on the crank'arm adjacent the handle and adapted to'receive the ends of the tools when thesame are not n use.

3. A brace comprisinga crank arm and a,

.handle, a head rigidly secured on the end of the crank arm, a tool carrier mounted to rotate on the crank arm, and a tool guard pivotallymounted on the crank arm adjacent,

the handle and adapted to receive the-ends of the tools. a v 4. A brace comprising a crank arm, a handle, ahead on the end of the crank' arm, a.

tool carrier mounted to turn on-the arm and having a plurality of tools pivotally connect j 'ed.thereto and movable independently into, engagement with the head, and a. catch on y the head'adaptedto hold the tools'inengage- I 'inent therewith.

having a cavity or recess therein and secured :on the end of the crankarm, a carrier'rotata 'bly mounted on the crank arm and havin a portion projecting into said cavity,"lthe ca rier being formed with anumber of longitu-= IOC 5.; A brace comprising a' crank arm, a head a radia slot and with which any one of they their dina'l slots, a

aving lurality of tools havin shanks ivoted in said slots, the head tools of the carrier may register, whereby to permit the tools to be thrown outward into the said slot of'the head, and a catch forrem'ovably holding the tools in. said slot.

6. A brace'comprising a head having aoav ity-orrecess therein, ,a crank arm secured to number of'longitudinal slots, and a plurality 'offtools-havin their shanks pivoted in said. 'slots, the'head v aving a radial slot with which jany'oneofthe slots of the carrier may regis-.

U terj whereby to'permit'the tool to be thrown I outward into the said slot of the head.

fgaijried thereby, a carrier mounted to turn Inn the"ar1n,' a plurality of tools adjustably mounted on'the carrier and ca able of being '7. A bracepcolnprising a crank arm, a head independently moved outwar into engagement with the head,,a guard pivotally 051i nected to 'saidvbraceand surrounding the crank arm and the ends of the tools, and a spring-normally holding said guard active] position. a

8., A brace compris ng a crank arm, a head carried thereby, a carrier mounted to rotate on the crank armand in engagement with the'head, a plurality of tools pivoted on the carrier and capable of movement independ .entlyf into saidcavity' in the head, and a catch pivoted onthe head-, each-tool having '2, p

'a curved recess therein and thecatch having :a correspondingly hooked portion capable-of entering said recesses for holding the tool in.
